I've decided to add to my association NLSC draftees.There will be 8 available positions on the first year.I will run a series of contest in order for the players to improve their draft stock and get chosen on a higher position.There will be 5 to 10 different contests(number pending) until the All-Star Game and after that the 8 draftees will be separated into categories

Athens, Greece. 1 month after the end of the basketball season,on the office of the General Manager of Olympiakos BC,George Koukoulis.

"...yes Mr.President."he said "The team is getting better and better.Last year we got the Cup,reached the Euro League Final,and loss by a while the Greek Finals.I believe this year,with the new coach and the addition of Spanoulis and Keselj, we're ready for the next step."George added satisfied."I have also reconsidered the contract extension offer you've made to me,and I'm ready to say that...".He paused.He had a call on his cell phone from an unknown number from overseas "Oh,I have to hang up.I will call you back in a little while"

"Hello?"[...]

"Yeah,thanks. I'll call you back..."He said and smiled.He phoned immediately the owner of Olympiakos.

"Mr.Angelopoulos? I'm sorry but I have to say no to the contract extension.I just got an offer which is to hard to say no..."

BREAKING NEWS:Chicago Bulls GM Gar Forman and VP John Paxson Fired

Chicago Bulls announced today that Vinny Del Negro will be followed by John Paxson and Gar Forman.The VP and GM of the Chicago Bulls were accused from the fans and the press that they made many wrong decisions and also that they're the main persons to blame for the lack of championships from the Windy City from the time they arrived,mostly because of the many wrong trades(Aldrige for Thomas) and signings they (didn't) made,like not signing Ben Gordon and overpaying Ben Wallace.

Their replacements are already known.Vice President of the team will be team's legend Scottie Pippen and General Manager will be the unknown to the league but a well known GM overseas ,George Koukoulis, who worked on Olympiakos of Greece as a General Manager,after retiring last year from action because of a serious knee injury.George Koukoulis had a great potential,being characterized as the biggest Greek talent and was monitored by the Bulls and the Grizzlies,but his injury was fatal for his playing career.Now he wants to make an impact to the league from another position,and lead the Bulls to the a championship,20 years after their first one.

knee injury!?!? oh no George...i hope you can still play the point for the all-NLSC team in the JAM mod hahah

Coach and rest of the stuff i'll bring as the new GM are yet to be announced.Though i'm thinking of giving Thibodeau some faith this time Though i would prefer to be a shooting guard,i can rule in any guard position you want !!

"Just wanted to ask you.Are you ok with the team?Do you need anything I can do?"

"The team is running great.We're ok in almost every aspect"Tom Thibodaeu answered.

"Almost?"

"Yes.I can't hide you that our perimeter shooters aside from Kyle are not that great"Thibodaeu said.

"You should have told it earlier to me Tom.I have to hurry now,but I have two options for you"George added and showed him 2 pieces of paper with player infos."They were sent to us yesterday,as their managers proposed them to us.We can have them both easily but you know they're both short-term solutions.We have to find a replacement next season or trade them at a later stage"

"Ok.This is tough"Tom said. " The first one is really experienced,got some serious skills but I'm really concerned about his character.If we can handle him all ok,but otherwise,we will have a problem"He said."On the other hand,we have him,who is experienced too,played with many different teams these years but couldn't settle.He know this city and team though..."He thought a little"...but not that special"

"So,we rule him out?"George questioned

"Yeah.I believe our best choice should be A..."

"Hey coach!" Ronnie Brewer who passed by interrupted him"I listened accidentaly what you said and I believe that under-grading me won't be a good decision and I clearly don't agree with it!"He said angrily

"Ronnie,You won't be under-graded!We just want to fill the team's needs but we still count you."Koukoulis added

"Yeah?And why you take a shooting guard that clearly comes to play starter and play many minutes each game! Don't make fool of me!He can shoot and pass better than me.So what?I can defend, I can run,I have more strength than him and I'm so much younger!"Brewer was clearly angry and dissapointed...

"Ronnie please think that he can be a great mentor for you and that you can have many benefits from him.In a year he will probably retire.You're the future and his experience will help you get better and better!" George added and Tom nodded to Brewer that he should agree.

"Whatever you say sir.If it is for my best..."He said and gone away,but he was clearly disappointed from the look of his face.

"Don't worry.He'll be fine.He's just a young man who wants to play more and more"Thibodeau said to George"Get it done.I'm sure he'll help"

"OK.He will be in your office by tomorrow morning!"George said satisfied

Allen Iverson has agreed on contract with the Chicago Bulls.The 35 year old veteran,couldn't find a team to play on the summer,but even with the many offers he had from Europe and China,he decided to stay as a Free Agent and try his luck for a little more. And just days before the start of the regular season, he agreed with the Bulls on a short-term contract.He signed with the Bulls for 1 year and on this year he will get 5.76 Million dollars.

Bulls get a experienced solution to mentor team's younger player and gives solutions on the shooting guard position,according to GM of the Bulls

"Allen is a great choice for us.He's a leader,he's experienced,he can be a great mentor to the younger guys like Derrick [Rose] and Brewer.I'm sure he can help us a lot on the shooting guard position and i'm certain he still has things to prove"

"I'm really happy to know that there are guys in this league that still trust me.I won't disappoint them"Said combo guard Allen Iverson

November 6,2010 An overall show by Derrick Rose and a great run on the 3rd quarter on the season premier was enough for the Bulls to overcome the tough Indiana Pacers on the Road.

Bulls were the leaders on the whole course of this game,despite Pacers were closing down the score with little runs every 5-6 minutes.Chicago though was stable on the whole game and overscored Indiana on all the 4 quarters. Derrick Rose was putting on a great performance on all the duration of the game.He scored 31 points,dished 10 assists and stole the ball 5 times,resulting on a double-double on the first game of the season.He had a great start as it seems.Luol Deng was a pleasant surprise for the Bulls' coach Tom Thibodeau. He scored 24 points,with some clutch 3 pointers and great % (3-4 for three, 10-12 from inside). Allen Iverson had a solid debut game with 11 points and 5 assists and Korver was a great player from the bench,scoring 10 points having 3 steals and 4 blocks.

Indiana had Darren Collison and Danny Granger on a great night. The sophomore Point Guard had 17 points,11 assists and 5 steals,but turned over the ball 10 times.On the other hand , Danny Granger scored 24 and was the leader again for his team.It's clear though that Indiana desperately needs another Star player ,who can cooperate along with Danny Granger and lead them from an average team to a playoff team.They have though players who have bright future,as Roy Hibbert, who had 10 points and 4 steals and Tyler Hansbrough,who can be developed into great Role Players and help the team on its rebuilding.

Chicago is going to face Phoenix Suns [1-2] on this Tuesday(Nov. 9) on the United Center. Indiana[0-2] will travel at Minnesota and faces the Timberwolves [0-2] who had a bad start as well

Nice game, I like the picture of Rose. Maybe with our imagination, we can picture him doing the Jordan "Mid-air-switch" haha. Because in this picture it looks like how Jordan went up with the right and switched to the left haha! Derrick Jordan?

Of course he will be,but how did you thought of that?From the Chapter 2 story or from the post above?

I dont know, i just figured it out, coz of the sentence that you would use AI as a SG? thats right?then i figured out that, Brewer would be out of his place as a starter, and i usually use Korver as a 6th man no matter what team he is in (except for my dynasty)

That was a great way to open the season

Good association, good luck man!

It resembles a Jordanesque move if you imagine it,you're right!Though on the game it ended with a posterizing Dunk on that Indiana Player!

Of course he will be,but how did you thought of that?From the Chapter 2 story or from the post above?

Nice thought this.Korver played great so far on those 2 games I've played (game vs phx coming on in minutes!),So the 6th Man spot is his!

November 9.United Center,Chicago. Bulls were great on Home as well,and they crashed the Phoenix Suns this time.Though the opponents they've played in these two games are not that powerful( Both are estimated to finish below a playoff spot this season,unless they are strengthen up),Bulls show that they play a quick,concentrated game,which is also effective.

Rose(voted as previous week's East Player) had a great game again.He scored 25 points(11-16 FG,2-4 3PT),did some fancy dunks and moves,and added 6 assists,2 steals,1 block and 1 rebound ,despite having a foul trouble from the second quarter,which resulted in him playing less than expected.Deng was great again,showing that this year he's more mature as ever,and that his performance in Indiana wasn't just like a shooting star.Scored 24 points(10-15 FG,2-2 3PT),grabbed 5 rebounds and gave 3 assists.Korver was again a great help from the bench and scored 16 points (7-14 FG,2-7 3PT) helping the Bulls maintain the lead easily while the star players were taking some breaths. Noah had 9 rebounds but only 2 points and Boozer 6 points with 5 rebounds (Bulls starters on the paint hadn't stepped up yet it seems) and Iverson added 10 points(4-5 FG)

On the losing side,Phoenix had Steve Nash leading the scoring with 17 points ,but he was alone today and totally lacking of a scorer as his many great passes resulted only in 4 assists,due to poor finishing by the Suns.J-Rich had 13 points and newly acquired(Trade involved Grant Hill) Andre Miller and Joel Pryzbilla scored 9 and 7 points respectively.

Bulls[2-0] will play with the Los Angeles Clippers[0-2] on the Windy City on Satuday[Nov. 13],before going for their Annual "Circus Trip" for two weeks,playing the next 7 games on the road.Phoenix Suns[1-3] will now try to bounce back and will travel to Cleveland to play with the Cleveland Cavaliers[1-1] tomorrow night [Nov. 11]

.PorkyJoker.o6, well,it seems i hadn't!
